I will be away from my home for 5 days... how long can my oranda go without eating? He lives alone in a Biorb and right now he eats about 15 Hikari pellets a day. Is there anything I can feed him that he won't eat all at once, and that won't make my water dirty?

My fish is about 2 inches long in body size, with about another 2 inches of tail.. but his eyes seem pretty big, so it looks like I'm feeding him a good amount. I'll try to feed him twice a day instead though.

I have had an Oranda in an 8-gal BiOrb for about 2 months now. We feed him about 10-12 Hikari pellets a day, all at once. He eats them all right away. Is this appropriate? How many should he be eating per day, and should we feed him more than once a day?
